Since you and I parted in silence and tears So broken hearted we've suffered for years Your cheek was pale and your hand was so cold I remember you saying as you turned to go That I'd cry in my sleep and your name I would call Your face I would see every night on my wall That I'd waken in the morning in tears to recall You're tellin' me darling so long long ago [ steel - guitar ] If we should meet after long lonely years if I should greet you with silence and tears But if I'd reach to touch you oh so you will know I remember you're tellin' me long long ago That I'd cry in my sleep... I remember you darling from long long ago
